Reflections on Artistic Research

Join the Milieux Institute’s Post Image research cluster and MOMENTA Biennale d’art contemporain for a day-long reflection on artistic research. This event builds on the Biennale’s theme, “In Praise of the Missing Images,” which explores the complex narratives and contemporary issues surrounding images today.

This conference brings together artists, curators, and scholars to explore the distinct nature of research within art. Beyond academic conventions, artistic inquiry unfolds through materials, gestures, and embodied memory. This conference invites you to ask: What makes artistic research unique, and how can curiosity, imagination, and embodied knowledge shape new ways of knowing?
